The Art of the Sports Car: The Greatest Designs of the Twentieth Century
Auto buffs will be in raptures over this lusciously illustrated history of the
sports car. Adler, editor of Car Collector magazine, provides a highly detailed
account of the evolution of small cars with big engines, recounting the travails
of famous auto designers, the engineering and styling innovations they pioneered
and the races and road rallies at which cars proved (and advertised) themselves. It's a "high-speed tour" of the greatest sports cars in history,
enthuses the famously car-collecting Leno, and while this volume is a kind of
car porn, many of these machines are indeed beautiful enough to merit the term
"art." 9 x 12 ½, 192 pages, numerous color pictures
